3M Malaysia Celebrates 50 years of Science & Innovation at 1Utama, PJ

3M? At first, I was unsure what 3M is all about other than that my car is fixed with 3M tint film. So I thought 3M is just a brand name for a brand of tinted film. Therefore, when I received the invitation to this 3M experiential exhibition at 1 Utama Shopping Mall, I was going to decline it. But my girl told me that 3M produces lots of things from Post-It Sticky Notes, personal hygiene such as the Nexcare acne patch which she uses often, Nexcare cute plasters, Scotch Brite cleaning products and many others. 

So I went to 1 Utama Shopping Mall on 8 November for exhibition. I witness the cooking demonstration & cleaning tips by Dr. Ezani Monoto and the officiation into the Malaysian Book of Records for the "Biggest Collage Made of Sticky Notes" using Post-It Super Sticky Notes.

During the opening ceremony, Parameswaran Nair, Managing Director of 3M Malaysia said, “3M has continuously strived to push the boundaries of Science and Innovation. Our aim is simple – to improve every aspect of Malaysian lives. It is this determination and passion which lead us to our 50^th year mark of success in Malaysia.”

3M collaborate and apply science in powerful ways to improve lives daily. With the simple aim to improve every aspect of Malaysian lives, 3M marks its success in Malaysia for 50 years. 

3M products and solutions at present are; home and workspace organization, health, fitness, car care and personal safety; ranging offerings from cleaning tools, hooks, tapes, adhesives, health supports & braces, clinical dressings, automotive products, water filtration, and many more innovative solutions.

The most common and popular 3M products among teenagers and children are the Nexcare products such as the cute plasters as shown above. Then there are the glue sticks, Acne patch, post-It sticky tapes and the magic see through tapes. 

As I have said earlier, my car is fitted with 3M tint film which is burglar proof. Thus 3M have a wide range of automotive products, auto care such as shampoo, wax, films, fuel cleaning and many others. 

I am surprised to see 3M water filtration products and especially impressed by the under the sink water filter

Scotch Brite household products do not need any introduction as I am sure most households have used before Scotch Brite sponge for cleaning dishes, sinks, pots and pans. Then we have the mop, the new circular mop and cleaning cloth. 

Cavilon skin care products for nappy rash and sensitive skin problems.

Command brand for various hanging onto wall purposes. 

Personal protective equipment - the most common one are the face mask and gloves

Oh yes, ear plugs! A very useful gadget especially for people who have a loud snoring sleeping partner. I use it also whenever I want to sleep in the airplane!
